Bathtub Test
During a visit to the mental hospital , one newspaper reporter asked the
Director 'How do you determine whether or not a patient should be admitted
to the hospital.'
'Well , ' said the Director , 'we fill up a bathtub , then we give a
teaspoon , a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him to empty the bathtub.'
'Oh , I understand , ' the reporter said. 'A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon
or the teacup.'
'No. the Director continued ,
'A normal person would pull the drain plug. Well....... Do you want a bed
near the window?'
